Within-Household Inequalities Across Classes? Management and Control of Money

Fran Bennett, Jérôme De Henau and Sirin Sung

Chapter 10 in Gender Inequalities in the 21st Century, 2010 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Both women and men strive to achieve a work and family balance, but does this imply more or less equality? Does the persistence of gender and class inequalities refute the notion that lives are becoming more individualised? Leading international authorities document how gender inequalities are changing and how many inequalities of earlier eras are being eradicated. However, this book shows there are new barriers and constraints that are slowing progress in attaining a more egalitarian society. Taking the new global economy into account, the expert contributors to this book examine the conflicts between different types of feminisms, revise old debates about ‘equality’ and ‘difference’ in the gendered nature of work and care, and propose new and innovative policy solutions.
